CHILDREN OF BODOM

Children of Bodom is a Finnish heavy metal band from Espoo, formed in 1993. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Alexi Laiho (vocals/lead guitar), Roope Latvala (rhythm guitar), Janne Wirman (keyboards), Henkka Seppälä (bass), and Jaska Raatikainen (drums).

And their lead guitarist alexi laiho.. is considered one of the best guitarists in the world today. Guitar World magazine has ranked him as one of the 50 fastest guitarists in the world.Even i think so.. his solo's are really really hard to replicate and he also has a great voice.
But since me being a drummer.. i have a lot of respect for their drummer Jaska.

Children of Bodom fall under the genre of " Melodic Death Metal " ( Yes.. Metal has elements of melody :| :| )
I still remember when i once told a frnd of mine that COB play melo-death and her reply was : "death metal can be melodious too ?? :o " *sigh*

Children of Bodom's genre classification is debated amongst fans and critics. The band could be part of several musical genres, among them power metal, neo-classical metal, speed metal, black metal, and melodic death metal.Laiho says that he prefers to just be called a metal group and nothing other. However, in a recent interview for the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, Laiho states that the band's genre is extreme metal, since he feels that all other alternatives are too restrictive.

Some of my favourite songs of COB are :
Needled 24-7( Hate Crew Deathroll )
Everytime I die ( Follow the Reaper ) This one's a must watch! really osm
Silent night bodom night ( Hatebreeder )
Done with everything, Die for nothing ( Blooddrunk )

Since their inception, Children of Bodom has released six studio albums, two live albums, two EPs, and one DVD.

LAMB OF GOD

Lamb of god is one of my favourite bands. From the basements of Richmond, Virginia to now being one of the best heavy metal bands in the world.
Lamb of God consists of vocalist Randy Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler, bassist John Campbell, and drummer Chris Adler *bows down* ( who is my one of my all-time idols for drumming ).

Lamb of god was earlier an instrumental band called "Burn the Priest" and included vocals after randy joined them.
Ever since they released their albums like 'ashes of the wake', they have been considered to be leaders of New Wave of american Heavy metal.

Randy's guttheral vocals combined with the god-like drumming of Chris and super tough riffs/leads from the guitarists... their songs have a very different sound and pumps you up to the max.
You can say their genre is Thrash metal or Death metal or hardcore punk or Grindcore. But in general they get the tag of Groove metal with influences from the band "Pantera".

Since its formation, Lamb of God has released six studio albums, one live album, and three DVDs. The band's cumulative sales equal almost two million in the United States. In 2007 the band received a Grammy nomination for their 2006 album Sacrament.
Lamb of God has toured with the Ozzfest twice and appeared on Slayer's The Unholy Alliance Tour in 2006. They have also played at many other major festivals around the world including Download Festival and Sonisphere Festival in the UK, Soundwave Festival and Gigantour. Recently, (as in 2008-2009) they have toured with Metallica (World Magnetic Tour).

Here's their discography ( u dont wanna miss these )

PANTERA

Diamond Darrell Abbott, Rex Rocker Brown and Vinnie Paul started playing together in a jazz band, later adding distortion with Terry Glaze on vocals.The directions of the band's sound began to change with the departure of vocalist Terry Glaze and his replacement by David Peacock, and later by Phil Anselmo, putting the Panther finally on the trail of Heavy Metal. The transition style was made with Power Metal (88), which was a bestseller. Abandoned once the look effeminate, and recorded in 1990 Cowboys from Hell, that even more weight, Phil Anselmo would design one of the most powerful vocalists of the decade.

In 1994, Far Beyond Driven compositions brought a little slower but no less heavy and debut in the first place in the USA. The special reference is provided by powerful riffs and solos of Darrel, who was already considered one of the best guitarists around the world in style.

Produced by Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, was released in 2000 album Reinventing the Steel, even with heavy guitar lines and drums very well worked. The song "Goddamn Electric" including with regard to the participation of guitarist Kerry King of Slayer, another icon of heavy music. Many rumors, however, began to circulate about a possible end of the Pantera.In 2003, vocalist Phil Anselmo said the band is not over, but they will take a few years of holidays and perhaps re-recording together in the future.

Meanwhile, he focuses on the design Superjoint Ritual while the brothers Dimebag and Vinnie are working with Damageplan. Explanations somewhat offensive on both sides, however, made the fans lost once the hopes of seeing Pantera together again. Even so, the group remains one of the most important in the history of heavy metal.
